ank you for purchasing the Multifunctional Utility Kit for the Nu:Tekt NTS-2 Os-
cilloscope Kit. To help you get the most out of your purchase, please read this manual
Main features of this unit
is product is an assembly kit that you can use to build a digital oscilloscope. Aside
from letting you view audio output waveforms and CV signals, this oscilloscope func-
tions as a spectrum analyzer, oers a built-in tuner for tuning analog synthesizers, and
lets you output LFO, CV and other signals with its function generator.
Use this button to switch between operating modes. Each time you press the button,

e functions assigned to these buttons dier, depending on the operating mode.
Starts and stops measurement. In function generator mode, this is also used to
output waveforms to an external device.
Press to select a sub-menu, and turn to edit the selected parameter.
Connect a stereo (or mono) mini cable here to input the signal you wish to measure.

Used as a thru out for the signal input from the INPUT 1 and 2 jacks.
Outputs the function generator signal.
Connect these jacks to your device with monaural mini plugs.
Use the included USB cable to connect this unit to the USB port on your computer
or to a commercially available USB standards-compliant AC adapter (at least 5 V

Making connections and turning on the power
Use the included USB cable to connect this unit to the USB port on your computer
or to a commercially available USB standards-compliant AC adapter (at least 5 V DC
Make sure to use the included USB cable.
Use a cable that’s no more than 3 m long when connecting your peripherals to this
Make sure to use an AC adapter that’s compliant with USB 2.0 standards. Note that
some standards-compliant USB AC adapters might not operate correctly.
Long-press the power button to turn on the unit.
Long-press the power button again to turn the unit o.
e Nu:Tekt NTS-2 features an auto power-o function that automatically turns the
unit o aer one hour has elapsed without the knob, switches, buttons or other controls
being operated. e auto power-o function is enabled by factory default.
Auto power-o can be disabled using the steps below.
Use the mode button to enter global mode.
Press button 4 (SETTINGS: Power) a number of times to select “Auto Power
O(USB)” or “Auto Power O(Battery)”.
Turn the value knob to change the value to “innite”.
Oscilloscope mode (SCOPE)
You can view the waveforms from up to four input sources. e functions below are
1: DISPLAY: Switches between input signals.
2: VERTICAL: Sets the display range for the vertical screen direction (voltage).
3: HORIZONTAL: Sets the display range for the horizontal screen direction (time).
4: TRIGGER: Sets which change in input signal causes the display to update.
Function generator mode (WAVE)
In this mode, signal is output from the OUTPUT 1 and 2 jacks. ese outputs can be
used even while an input signal is being received. You can use the START/STOP button
to turn the waveform output on/o, continuously output the waveform by holding
down the button, or output only one cycle of the waveform (one-shot) by just pressing
the button. e functions below are assigned to buttons 1–4.
1: CATEGORY: Selects the waveform for OUTPUT 2, sets the level and so forth.
2: EDIT: Congures the detailed settings for the OUTPUT 2 waveform.
3: CATEGORY: Selects the waveform for OUTPUT 1, sets the level and so forth.
4: EDIT: Congures the detailed settings for the OUTPUT 1 waveform.
Spectrum analyzer mode (FFT)
is mode lets you observe the frequency characteristics of the input signal, by using a
spectrum analyzer that employs an FFT (fast Fourier transform) algorithm. e func-
tions below are assigned to buttons 1–4.
1: INPUT: Switches between input signals.
2: VERTICAL: Sets the display range for the vertical screen direction (voltage).
3: HORIZONTAL: Sets the display range for the horizontal screen direction (time).
4: TRIGGER: Sets which change in input signal causes the display to update. Nor-
mally, this is set to AUTO.
is mode measures the pitch of the input signal from the oscillator of an analog syn-
thesizer or other source. You can select between a horizontal meter and a needle-type
(VU) meter view. e functions below are assigned to buttons 1–4.
1: DISPLAY: Selects the tuner display mode.
2: INPUT: Switches between input signals to measure.
3: CALIB: Adjusts the pitch lower or higher than the reference pitch of A=440Hz.
You can adjust the pitch within a range of 410–480 Hz.
4: SCOPE: Switches the oscilloscope display on/o.
